    If he didn't consult Lebron he better watch his back he is getting fired next.

    Well first of all to all the critics who made an issue of rockets firing mcfail, what do they say now?

    There was a clip from a gew games ago (i believe it was against gsw) lbj was talking to lue and you can read he said "disgust" and he was frustrated.

    It was over once lebron benched himself that one game.

    Wow now this is really crazy!!! I bet you though the Cavs GM / owner or whoever will not get nearly as much criticism as the Rockets / Morey / Harden got for the firing of McHale. Mid-season firing when you're 30-11, are you kidding me??

    Has a coach ever been fired after leading his conference?

    David Blatt is 1st NBA head coach since conferences began to be fired when his team has best record in its conference. (via @EliasSports) — SportsCenter

    Those are the perks when you are the best player in the league for the past half decade

    Lebron seems to be a pretty loyal guy. He hooked up his childhood friends with some pretty sweet jobs. Where would Maverick Carter or Rich Paul be without Bron?

    How in the world is LeBron a "coach killer" when he survived both Spoelstra and Mike Brown? Two godawful coaches, one that's already out of the League and another who's currently being exposed without Bron. The only player that had anything to lose on the Cavs was Kevin Love. He's literally the only one that kept complaining about his role on the team.

    Blatt is a bad coach just like McHale was. Not understanding the sympathy on here. Oh, the Cavs are 1st seed in the East? Wow, amazing. Once in a lifetime achievement.
